You may remember Blessing and Frank from a previous blog post sometime last year. Apart from the fact that Blessing was a bride with a unique personality and easy to get along with, a couple of other things stood out for me. One was the planning, Distinct Occasions really made my work easy I must confess. I’m not sure how it was done but there was just enough time for photography all around. A lot of brides spend so much on the wedding and a big mistake is usually getting a planner who can’t pull it all together. For the first time, I had the time to shoot details personally at the reception and still had time to go shoot the formals with the bridal party outside. The other thing I liked here was the decor by BCG. Blessing wanted something a bit different for her flowers and decor and I think she got it and you will that starting from her lovely bouquet. And of course I can’t forget my team who provided an excellent coverage, thanks Jummy, Kirth and Dele.
So I have to cheat a bit today:) since it’s my first blog post of the year, I’m going to go over my usual 60 pics for a wedding post…enjoy!
